English lesson four:

For our English lesson for both today and tomorrow, we will be beginning to write a recount of the story of David an Goliath. For this task, it would be useful for you to use Monday’s learning of creating a comic strip on the story of David and Goliath. The recount we will be doing in English today, however, should be more detailed than the comic strip recount we created but it could be used as a guide to plan the order of the events that happened when writing your own recount.

Make sure you take your time in creating your recount as you have both today and tomorrow’s lesson to complete this task.

The recount must also include setting the scene as to where the battle happened and describe the characters in detail within the story and how they are feeling at each point. You should also make sure you use year 5/6 vocabulary and punctuate your writing as accurately as possible. It would be useful for you to edit your writing by reading it out loud to make sure it flows and you have used punctuation and spelling correctly.

Afternoon lesson:

For this afternoon’s lesson, following on from our English learning earlier in the week about the idea of dreams in ‘The BFG’, we will now be creating our own dream-catcher like the ones in the image above.

You could also attach the dream jar you created in our English lesson on Monday to the string below the dream-catcher, once you have created it, if you wish to.

If you do not have the suggested resources on the PowerPoint to create your own dream catcher, you could try to use anything you have available. For example, using a piece of card or cardboard from a cereal box to cut a ring shape for the dream catcher. If you do not have anything to make a dream catcher, it would be nice to see a picture you have drawn of a dream catcher and a brief explanation of what they are used for.

Please follow the link below to give you some help in creating your own dream-catcher.
